Subject: [PATCH 5.10 597/663] mm: memcontrol: fix get_active_memcg return value

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@...edance.com>

commit 1685bde6b9af55923180a76152036c7fb7176db0 upstream.

We use a global percpu int_active_memcg variable to store the remote memcg
when we are in the interrupt context.  But get_active_memcg always return
the current->active_memcg or root_mem_cgroup.  The remote memcg (set in
the interrupt context) is ignored.  This is not what we want.  So fix it.
